Chapter 23 Jiang Wei

"He has a big appetite." After hearing the conditions proposed by Ma Chao by Yang Fu, Cao Chong smiled with a bad look on his face. Even his eyes looked at Yang Fu were a little unfriendly, and he glanced at Ma Teng who was specifically called to listen to him.

Ma Teng's face changed drastically. He never expected Ma Chao to make such a request. Although Ma Chao asked Cao Chong to send them all back to Jicheng, this was obviously not Ma Chao's true thoughts. All he wanted was the former general, Huailihou and Guanzhong, and the minimum limit was Hanyang and Wudu counties. He looked at Cao Chong's gloomy face and quickly left the seat and turned over and bowed: "General, the son of the dog is rude, please don't bother him anymore and dispatch the army to kill this son. Teng is willing to be the vanguard and surrender his old subordinates in the last battle to help the general with one arm."

Cao Chong pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled silently. He left the seat and helped Ma Teng up with both hands, trying his best to suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart, and said politely: "Gen. Ma must not do this. This matter has nothing to do with the old general. Chong is unwilling to force you, father and son to turn against each other. The saint also said, 'The father hides for the son, and the son hides for the father, and it is all right. Besides, the negotiations are so high that it is reasonable to ask for a price everywhere and repay the money on the spot. He just wants high, and I don't agree. Why should we meet immediately? You can still talk about it again."

Ma Teng burst into tears, and his heart that was raised to his throat was finally let go. He dared not hope that Cao Chong would spare Ma Chao anymore. He only hoped that Cao Chong would not push all his family in Meiwu out of anger and kill the Qiqi. He heard Cao Chong say this, he knew that Cao Chong had not given up hope in the end, so he felt a little relieved. He stood up and said to Yang Fu: "You go back and say to the rebellious son, let him give up those unrealistic ideas, and immediately tie him to the general to apologize. Let the general fall in love with me. I can still think of some father-son relationship and use this old face to plead for him. Otherwise, I will cut off the father-son relationship with him from then on and personally raise the army to kill him under Jicheng."

Yang Fu nodded, looked at the angry Ma Teng and did not dare to reply.

Ma Teng turned around and bowed to Cao Chong: "General, Ma Teng is not afraid to stay in the main hall for a long time. Now he goes back to face the wall and thinks about his mistakes. He is so ashamed that he gave birth to such a rebellious son. He has no face to see the ancestors of the Ma family."

Cao Chong spoke a few words and asked Ma Teng to make it convenient for himself. Ma Teng bowed repeatedly and withdrew from the main hall with tears in his eyes. Yang Fu was still kneeling down and waited for Cao Chong's hair to fall without saying a word. Cao Chong didn't say anything, picked up the snacks from the celadon plate on the table and tasted them, drank another sip of fragrant tea, looked up at Yang Fu, and signaled Sun Shao next to him to deliver the plate to Yang Fu.

"Come from afar, haven't eaten yet, so try some food first." Cao Chong clapped his hands and dusted off the crumbs on his hands, and said calmly, without a trace of anger. It seemed that Ma Chao's requests were just a joke to him, and he had heard them after hearing them.

Yang Fu was stunned when he looked at the plate in front of him. He looked at the small golden cakes at a loss. Not only did Cao Chong not drive him out, but he gave him food. This seemed a bit abnormal. He looked at Cao Chong hesitantly, and saw Cao Chong looking at him with a smile, then he carefully stretched out his fingers and picked it up, held it with his left hand to his mouth, opened his mouth and bit it.

The cake is very crisp, sweet, and has a very good taste. It is even more delicious for Yang Fu, who has been traveling all day.

"Thank you General." Yang Fu picked up the tea on the table and took a sip. He didn't care about the scalding of the water, and hurriedly expressed his gratitude to Cao Chong.

"Yishan, you are from the Prime Minister's Mansion. Lord Wei was detaining you so hard that he placed you in Liangzhou to participate in the military affairs of Liangzhou. But your military affairs are not very good." Cao Chong shook his body and sat more comfortable, but his slow words were extremely pressured.

"Go back to the general." Yang Fu responded sternly: "General Ma had a 30,000 army of troops besieged the city. There were only more than 2,000 guards in the city, and the number was disparate. However, the military and civilians of Jicheng did not give up. The subordinates and their companions Yang Yue and Yang Mo, who were separated from Lord Yan, worked as Lord Zhao and others to do their best to go up the city together, and set up a half-month formation on the city, waiting for the battle. Lord Yan even ignored his life and dived to the general for help. My Jizhou originally wanted to attack General Ma with General Ma. However, although the reinforcements arrived, they did not come to the city of Jizhou for a long time. The requests sent by the city were also killed by General Ma without exception. Lord Wei had no choice but to follow the plan for the people in the city. The subordinates were incompetent and failed to see General Ma's plan. They were incompetent and did not dare to ask the general for forgiveness. Please punish the general."

"It's fine if you can't defend Jicheng, why do you follow the thief? Ma Chao's 30,000 troops? Even if you Jicheng has a large reserve, how can you support the consumption of so many people? Without the support of your many clans, can he stay in Jicheng?" Cao Chong looked at Yang Fu's angry face and continued slowly: "Does the big clan of Tianshui have only your family in his eyes?"

Yang Fu raised his head suddenly, looked at Cao Chong, opened his mouth and tried to say it, but he suppressed himself again. He snorted dissatisfied: "General, although my Jicheng surname is poor and has family resources, except for a few guards, there is no force. What can we do when facing 30,000 Qiang and Hu? There are tens of thousands of troops in the court, so how can the general blame us?"

Cao Chong narrowed his eyes and looked at Yang Fu quietly. He didn't say anything for a long time. Yang Fu also looked at Cao Chong angrily. The atmosphere was a little unnatural for a moment. Cao Chong looked at him for a long time and suddenly laughed: "I heard that Yang Yishan in Tianshui was extremely arrogant. When I saw him today, it was true. It seems that you are reluctant to be the envoy of this negotiation today, right?"

Yang Fu was stunned, and then he felt that he had been agitated by Cao Chong just now, and his words were a little exposed. He was shocked and sweated in a cold sweat. He quickly lowered his head and avoided Cao Chong's eyes. Fortunately, Ma Teng was not here at this time. Seeing Cao Chong like this, he would not have passed this to Ma Chao's ears, otherwise his family would not be able to save it.

"Yishan, let's talk about the situation in Jizhou City. Yan Bojian came here last time and there was no news after he went back. How is he now?"

"Sir, Lord Yan, be safe." Yang Fu briefly said about the situation in Jicheng. He had not yet understood Cao Chong's thoughts and did not dare to speak too directly. While speaking, he secretly looked at Cao Chong's face, trying to see a clue from his face. Unfortunately, Cao Chong's face has always been calm, neither angry, nor angry, nor happy, it seems like he is having sex with family matters, and has no special purpose. Yang Fu was a little anxious. After talking about the situation in Jicheng, he asked tentatively: "General, although General Ma's requirements are higher, if the general really wants to surrender him, he can still negotiate. Please show the conditions that the court can agree to. I am willing to go back and make a comment to General Ma, and there may be room for negotiation."

Cao Chong laughed: "He is now full of ambition, can he calm down and listen to your advice? It is impossible for the former general. General Ma is still alive and Marquis of Huaili cannot come to him. He should not dream about this. Before he started his army, he was a side general. I think the court can agree to him. As for Guanzhong... Hahaha, he can do it, but he can only bring five hundred personal guards and be a side general under my account. Go back and ask if he is willing or not."

Yang Fu followed closely: "General, General Ma will definitely not agree to this condition."

"If you don't agree, don't agree." Cao Chong spread his hands and said indifferently: "Han Sui has already raised his troops back to Jincheng, and only Ma Chao is left here. Do you think he can stop my army alone? Since he doesn't want to surrender, then fight. However, the people of your Jicheng will inevitably suffer."

Yang Fu was overjoyed, quickly moved a few steps to the side, lay on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "General, if the general is determined to wipe out Ma Chao, Yang Fu is willing to serve."

"You?" Cao Chong looked at him for a while and suddenly laughed: "Yishan, you are Ma Chao's envoy. Why do you think so? Aren't you worried that your family is small in the city?"

Yang Fu kowtowed a few times on the ground, and then sobbed and said, "General, Fu and others were deeply treated with great honor from Lord Wei and could not avenge him. Lord Wei was killed, and Fu and others were heartbroken. They thought about how to avenge the Lord day and night. However, because the strength in the city was insufficient, Ma Chao did not allow us to leave the city to contact him casually, so they endured it until now. I came to negotiate this, which was Yan Bojian's idea to find out the general's intention. Now the general wants to kill Ma Chao, Fu and others are unable to get it. If he can get this revenge, even if all the young family members are killed by Ma Chao, he will be willing to do so."

Cao Chong looked at Yang Fu in surprise, feeling a little unbelievable. In order to avenge Wei Kang, an outsider, this man didn't even want his family. This was too cruel. He looked at Yang Fu who was crying, and hesitated for a moment, and asked, "How much strength do you have and how do you plan to take revenge?"

Yang Fu kowtowed on the ground again and said in a deep voice: "If the general wants to do so, Fu is willing to discuss with Yan Bojian after returning to the city, contact the general, cooperate with the general internally and externally, and attack and kill Ma Chao. Yang Fu was able to avenge his great revenge, and the general succeeded."

Cao Chong thought about it carefully, shook his head and said, "Yishan, I can understand your mood, but your approach is extremely inappropriate. There are 30,000 Qianghu in the city. If you are not careful, the news will leak out. Ma Chao killed you just a little bit. Jicheng is solid, Ma Chao defends the city. I can't do anything even if I want to cooperate with you inside and outside. At that time, the people of Jicheng will be retaliated, and Lord Wei will die in vain."

Yang Fu said anxiously: "General, we have hundreds of people. If we are not prepared, we may not have no hope of success. Even if there is a difference, the general will have no worries outside the city. The people of Jicheng have been brutalized by Ma Chao, so what revenge are afraid of? As long as we can avenge Lord Wei, we will not hesitate to do this. Please do not be a woman's kindness."

Cao Chong was a little unhappy. You, Yang Fu, can take revenge on Wei Kang, and you can spare no expense. But I cannot help but prevent you from failing to do anything and implicate the people of Jicheng. The hand I don’t want to get is a broken city. What is the most valuable now? Labor is human life. If Jicheng is killed by Ma Chao, what is the point of taking it to Jicheng?

"Yishan, you can make a long-term plan for this matter. If you are too risky, don't consider it." Cao Chong stopped Yang Fu who was still talking about it, and then said, "Just because your servants want to attack Ma Chao in Jicheng, the chance of success is too small, I will not agree. Think about it again, what else can be used to use, and then tell me after you have thoughts. You have been staying in Mei County for two days in the past two days. Come to me at any time if you have any ideas." After that, he stood up and left without waiting for Yang Fu to say anything.

Yang Fu was staying there, he was a little confused about Cao Chong's idea. He voluntarily broke his family and took revenge. Cao Chong didn't take any risks. He could pretend not to know this. If the failure could be completely defeated, he would not turn against Ma Chao. If he succeeded, it would be his great contribution. Why would he not agree? It is really a woman's kindness? Sun Shao, who was standing beside him, looked at Yang Fu's puzzled look and chuckled, stepped forward and bent down to help Yang Fu up: "Mr. Yang, my general has never been willing to take meaningless risks when doing things. Or if he doesn't fight, he will fight a battle that will definitely win. Those who are good at fighting have no great achievements. Lord Yang won't know, right?"

Yang Fu turned his head and looked at Sun Shao. Seeing a trace of steadyness that was extremely disproportionate to his age appeared on Sun Shao's face, he couldn't help but feel a little strange. He quickly bowed and asked, "I wonder what your title is?"

"Boy Sun Shao, Wujun, is the current general's subordinate to the letter." Sun Shao said with a smile.

"It turns out that he is the son of Sun Lang from Jiangdong, and he is indeed a phoenix among people." Yang Fu was shocked and hurriedly pulled Sun Shao and asked, "Please give me more advice."

Sun Shao quickly returned the salute and said in a panic: "Sir, I am so ignorant. Sun Shao is so ignorant. How dare I give advice? My general only respects the adults and does not want them to take risks. If the adults have a proper way, the general will not sit idly by. I am ashamed, the boy talks nonsense and leaves."

Sun Shao said, taking a step back and giving up Yang Fu's hand. Yang Fu looked at Sun Shao's nervous look and laughed secretly. Sure enough, there were generals and Shu Zuo. Even Sun Bofu's son was so careful. It seemed that this Cao Cheqi was indeed a person who was not risky and was quite inconsistent with the rumors outside. He stroked his beard and thought about it, greeted Sun Shao, and retreated.

Cao Chong invited Pang Tong, Ma Su and Jia Xu to discuss it. As soon as he expressed some doubts about Yang Fu's sincerity, Pang Tong said, "General is too worried. There are many loyal and trustworthy people like my Han Dynasty. Since Lord Wei is his superior, they have the right to be a monarch and minister. It is not impossible for Yang Yishan to break the family to avenge Lord Wei. The general thought about Yan Bojian and he knew that he is also a Tianshui Wang clan. His family in Jicheng is not fewer than the Yang family. He would not dive out of the city to report the news."

Cao Chong was a little surprised. He looked at Pang Tong in disbelief and looked at Jia Xu again. The silent Jia Xu nodded: "What Master Pang said is very much. Yang Yishan is highly valued by Lord Wei and his son. When he was the Xu Li to Xu County, he was recommended by Lord Wei. It is not surprising that he could do this. Originally, he was also a resourceful person. When the Prime Minister and Yuan Benchu ​​were attacked, he could see that the Prime Minister would win, which shows that it would be obvious."

Seeing that the old fox said so, Cao Chong believed it a little. It seemed that his view of Zhongxin was still a little different from these people. He smiled and said, "It's just that his idea is a bit inappropriate."

Jia Xu smiled in conjunction with him: "What the general said is very much. Yang Yishan is eager to take revenge, and it is a little confused. The general can respond to him first and restor him. He will definitely come up with a better way. Although the Yang family is a top family in Tianshui, he is in a marriage relationship with the Jiang family, one of the four surnames. His outer brother is the Licheng garrison general, Jiang Xu, Jiang Boyi, the general of Fuyi, and the four surnames are also related. If the general helps in this matter, it will be of great help to appease the hearts of Hanyang in the future."

Cao Chong nodded, suddenly remembered someone and asked Jia Xu: "Sir, there is a surname Jiang among the four surnames of Tianshui. I wonder if there is a surname Jiang named Jiang Wei?"

"Jiang Wei?" Jia Xu thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Xu has never heard of this person. General might as well ask Yang Yishan for some reason, he should be very clear."

"Haha." Cao Chong laughed dryly and pulled the topic away: "Then let Wei Zhongjiang go and talk to Yang Yishan."

Jia Xu smiled slightly: "General Wei Zhong is the right candidate. If he has him to talk to Yang Yishan, this matter is very good. General, Ma Chao is arrogant, but our army is not ready yet, and the troops in Yizhou have not cut off his retreat. It is better to have a false conspiracy with him."

Cao Chong didn't say anything, and he was also considering this issue. Although Li Yan and Meng Da's transfer orders have been out, they are afraid they will not be able to reach their jurisdiction and complete the task in less than half a year. Moreover, the new policy in Guanzhong has just begun, and it is very complicated. At this time, fighting with Ma Chao is obviously not a good time.

"Master Jia is right. Ma Chao has elite soldiers in the city, and it is not easy to capture them for a while. Since the surname in the city has this intention, why not take advantage of the situation and greatly reduce the losses of our army." Seeing Cao Chong pondering, Ma Su also said in accordance with Jia Xu's opinion. During this period, he followed Jia Xu, Pang Tong and others to discuss military affairs, and benefited a lot. His arrogance gradually restrained and his people became much more stable.

"Then just wait like that?" Cao Chong said, touching his soft beard on his chin.

"You can't sit and watch it change." Ma Su glanced at Pang Tong and Jia Xu, and saw that they smiled and said, "Han Sui returned to Jincheng. Although he was not separated from Ma Chao, it was obvious that Ma Chao could not maintain Han Sui's army supply. Han Sui was very stubborn and knew that the current situation could not have a relationship with Ma Chao, so he could take advantage of the opportunity for the general. But Lord Jiang also said that Han Sui's health was very poor. He was over 70 years old, and he might not be able to endure it for a long time after returning to Jincheng. Han Yin was rough and fierce. If he had mastered Jincheng, how could he be so tolerant?"

"You mean, hit Han Sui first?" Cao Chong smiled.

"It may not be a fight, but you have to keep a little pressure." Ma Su also smiled, smiling with the charm of Pang Tong and Jia Xu. He knew he was malicious at first glance: "The general in charge of the leadership is determined to be ashamed of blood. If he keeps staying in Xia Ji, what if he can't help it, wouldn't he have broken the general's plan?"

Cao Chong laughed. Xiahou Yuan failed last time and was always indignant. He was like a tiger trapped in prison. He was restless and took people to check the terrain every few days. Deng Ai and Xiahou said that one was a junior and the other was a son, so they could not stop him. Zhang He and Zhu Ling advised him several times. Although he heard it, he did not agree. If he kept letting him go, he would be in trouble sooner or later.

"The city defense in Xiaji has been completed. It is more than enough to leave Shu Quan and Shizai to defend. Let him go to sweep An. Let's fight a few battles and feel much more comfortable. Prepare more supplies in Jieting to let Xu Gongming pay close attention to Ma Chao's movements and be ready to pick up the general in the lead at any time."

After a deep conversation between Yang Fu and Wei Dan, they believed that Cao Chong was going to hit Ma Chao. Accompanied by Wei Dan, they walked around nearby and learned about some of the new policies in Guanzhong. When he learned that Cao Chong was vigorously recruiting officials from various major families in Guanzhong, he felt at ease about the future of the family. Before leaving, he came to say goodbye to Cao Chong. Before that, Cao Chong had already conveyed to him that he would have to negotiate with Ma Chao for the time being. Yang Fu was calm at this time and could understand Cao Chong's intention. When Cao Chong talked to him, he nodded repeatedly.

"The general's thoughts are far-reaching, and it's beyond my reach." Yang Fu said with a smile: "But it's good, and I can explain it to you when I go back like this."

Cao Chong smiled and comforted Yang Fu: "It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge, let alone it doesn't take ten years. Be careful when you go back and don't ruin your life in vain. Pacifying Xiliang is only the first step. If you want long-term peace and stability in Xiliang, there are still many things you have to do."

Yang Fu gave a bow and said gratefully: "Thank you for your concern, Fu must be cautious when he goes there and dare not be careless."

"Well, if you can maintain your current mentality, what else can I worry about?" Cao Chong smiled and remembered Jiang Wei's incident: "I have another thing to ask you, there is a Jiang family among the four surnames of Tianshui. You should be clearer about the situation of the Jiang family, right?"

Yang Fu smiled and nodded: "The Jiang family is married to my Yang family, and the relationship has always been very good. If the general wants to ask, I should know a little more."

"You have a Jiang Wei and Jiang Boyue, do you know?" Cao Chong asked.

"Jiang Wei?" Yang Fu was surprised: "How does the general know about this son?"

"What's wrong?" Cao Chong was a little surprised by Yang Fu's reaction. Yang Fu quickly explained: "Jiang Wei is Jiang Gongcao's only son, only fifteen years old this year. When Jiang Gongcao was in trouble a few years ago, the bodyguard Lord Wei had no battlefield. Before he could get the name of Jiang Wei, I don't know whether he was Boyou. However, Jiang Wei has a person. Now he lives in Jicheng with his widow. My uncle Jiang Xu and Jiang Boyi have been stationed in Licheng for a long time and often asks me to take care of their mother and son. Lord... are he familiar with him?"

Cao Chong smiled and thought to himself that this was a great Shu Kingdom in the late Three Kingdoms period. How could I not know? But he is only fifteen years old now, which was a little surprised. He said casually: "I have heard about Jiang Gongcao, and I admire him very much. I know he has a son, so I asked you out, and there is no other meaning."

Yang Fu nodded without asking much questions. He immediately discussed with Cao Chong how to answer Ma Chao's question, and then got up and left Meiwu. After returning to Jicheng, he first replied to Ma Chao's mission and told Cao Chong that he felt embarrassed about his request. It was probably impossible for the emperor and the Prime Minister's Mansion to agree, but he really wanted to talk to Ma Chao, hoping that Ma Chao would show some sincerity and not say any unrealistic ideas.

Ma Chao was not angry when he heard this. In the past month when Yang Fu left the city, Ma Yunlu and Ma Tie repeatedly advised him. He also felt that this request was a bit outrageous. Cao Chong could not agree no matter what. Now after listening to Yang Fu's reply, although he was a little disappointed, he was not too surprised. Of course, he would not have any objection to Yang Fu. Instead, he felt that Yang Fu's mission was completed very well, at least he did not cut off his contact with Cao Chong. He comforted Yang Fu very much, and Yang Fu also suppressed his disdain in his heart, and expressed his loyalty to Ma Chao in a fake role model, and then asked Ma Chao for leave. When his wife died, he wanted to go back to his hometown. Ma Chao agreed.

Yang Fu said goodbye to Ma Chao and went to Yan Wen immediately without going home. He told Yan Wen about Cao Chong's thoughts. Yan Wen had expected it and was not surprised. He said to Yang Fu: "Our families have always been in harmony with Ma Chao. General Cheqi can trust you without any certificate. In addition to being the identity of a prime minister's official, it means that he still values ​​us more. You have also seen in Guanzhong that his new policy does not harm a family like us. Follow him and will definitely not be bad in the future. Seizing this opportunity will not only avenge Lord Wei, but also have a level of advancement. It is a good thing that is both good. You should not be careless and let the general down."

Yang Fu nodded, thought for a while and said, "After that being said, I am worried that General Cheqi still doesn't trust us very much. He mentioned Jiang Wei of the Jiang family, and he valued it very much, perhaps reminding us to send qualifiers. I think the Jiang family is not well off in Jicheng anyway, so it would be better to let him enter the General's Mansion to be a minor official, which can win the trust of General Yu, and also help him find a way out. Sun Bofu's son Sun Shao is a scholar in the mansion, which is not considered as a humiliating Jiang Wei."

Yan Wen was also a little surprised. Although the Jiang family is famous, Jiang Wei has no reputation. How could he know Jiang Wei shortly after Cao Chong arrived in Guanzhong? Could it be that his intelligence is really so powerful that he can know such a small character? If this is true, then his chance of success will be much greater than what he thought.

"This is a good thing." Yan Wen agreed: "You can discuss it with your uncle Jiang Boyi. I guess he will not object."

Yang Fu didn't say much, packed up his makeup and rushed back to his hometown. In his hometown, he met his aunt and his brother Jiang Xu who came to the funeral. Yang Fu invited his aunt and Jiang Xu to the inner room. When the door was closed, he knelt down in front of his aunt and cried loudly. His aunt sighed and helped him up: "I know what you are thinking. Lord Wei and his son are as kind as a mountain to us Xiliang people. In order to protect the people of Jicheng, he did not hesitate to humiliate his reputation, but was poisoned by Ma Chao. This revenge is a shame for us Xiliang people. You don't need to say more. What do you want to do? Just discuss with Bo Yi and the others, don't take anything else."

Before Jiang Xu could speak, she saw that her mother had agreed, so she had to sigh. He sent her mother inside to rest, and then turned around and said to Yang Fu: "It's okay to do things, but you have to explain all the plans to me, especially how General Cheqi promised you. You have to tell me everything. Our families have hundreds of people, so we can't act rashly and lose our lives in vain."

Yang Fu stared at Jiang Xu for a long time, then curled his lips and said, "Boyi, you, General Fuyi, have been doing this for a long time, and your life is worth it. Before you can do it, you should worry about your life first, for fear of becoming a chess piece for General Cheval, right?"

Jiang Xu's face turned red. He did have this idea. Wei Kang was dead, and he really didn't need to pay the life of a family for a dead person. If his mother had not spoken and he was a filial son again, he might not have agreed to Yang Fu's request.

"Don't forget, you, General Wei, are the merits that Lord Wei asked for you." Yang Fu reminded him and said, "General Cheqi is not the kind of person you imagined. He doesn't need us to be his chess piece at all. I originally wanted to raise a crime immediately, but he stopped him because he didn't want us to sacrifice in vain. Bo Yi, do you think such a general Cheqi is taking advantage of you?"

Jiang Xu was speechless and sat silently.

"Although the general first arrived in Guanzhong, he knew a lot about Xiliang. Jia Wenhe from Wuwei is now a think tank in his mansion. He admires your brother, the general of the county guards, and asks about his orphan Jiang Wei." Yang Fu relaxed his tone, glanced at Jiang Xu with a shameful face, and said, "Ma Chao is against his father and rebelling against the king and killing the county general in vain. This is not a shame for me, Yang Fu, but a shame for the scholars and officials of Liangzhou. You have a large army and have no desire to fight against the thieves. I will persuade you, but you are still looking forward and timid. What is the difference between this and helping the rebels? I don't want to force you. If you really don't want to be an enemy of Ma Chao, you can tie me up and send it to Ma Chao now, and use my head on my neck to give you an additional title."

"Yishan, how can you see me like this?" Jiang Xu's face turned red with a flushing face. He was a little hesitant, but to say that he had no loyalty at all, this is not the truth. He stood up suddenly and said with a calm face: "My Jiang family has a loyal minister like my fellow brother, of course there will be no coward who can help the rebels. Although I am not a great scholar who reads the classics of saints, I still know this morality. Tell me, what's the big deal? I can't do it? Isn't it just a head on my neck? What's the big deal?"

Yang Fu stared at Jiang Xu coldly, and Jiang Xu was a little annoyed when he saw Jiang Xu. Then he stood up and held Jiang Xu down: "Bo Yi, if I don't believe you, how can I come to discuss with you? Don't worry, General Cheqi will not let us take risks, and I will not easily give hundreds of people in my family to Ma Chao to kill. Since we have to do it, we must have a complete plan. For the first thing we must first express our sincerity to the general. Do you think that Jiang Wei will be sent to General Cheqi's Mansion first?"

Jiang Xu thought about it and nodded heavily: "This is not a bad thing. If things fail, it can be considered as leaving some blood for my fellow servant."

Yang Fu nodded and continued, "The second thing is, look at who you can trust. Let's first gather together to discuss it, see how much power we can have, and then see how to act, the possibility of success is the greatest."
Chapter completed!
